    Hi All, I too ride this damn weight-a-coaster and am trying to drop 30 lbs. I'm logging in multiple times a day to record everything. Feel free to send me a friend request and I'll do the same, cause I could definitely could use some motivational help. No worries if you don't accept, all good. Good luck everyone, you can do it!!

    good for you!! Trust me, one day it will stick.... and this might be the one time it does!! Who cares about all the other times, thats history. You got this!

    Tip... never ever ever ever ever give up. Even if you miss a week here and there, even if its July and you miss the entire month! Dont wait until New Years to start again, start in August! Thats the key, year round fitness and better food choices.

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    Really need to be held accountable. I tend to binge and I really want to lose weight to be healthier.

    Take it one day at a time and don't expect change right away. Set little goals for yourself, that helps me. Good luck to everyone!

    Restarting myself. My best friend died at Canadian Thanksgiving (extremely unexpectedly) so I threw eating and such out the window for a while. Getting back on track. She'd have my head behaving the way I have. :-) (sad smile).

    Well, I think I have you ALL beat! I'm trying again for the millionth and one time!. I hear what you all are saying and I've also been there and done that. Could kick myself because I did get to a great weight a couple of years ago. (I remember it was hard, lots of commitment, eating well, lots of bike riding). Then one thing after another happened. The bikes rides got fewer and further between. The portions got larger and larger. Surprise, surprise, I seemed to get larger and larger too. They say the camera doesn't lie so it must be true. Besides which my clothes just don't fit anymore and I'm down to wearing one or two things with elastic in them. Bummer. But, joking aside, I hate myself. I'm mad with myself. I let myself go after working so hard. Why can't we just turn back the clock? Why do we do this to ourselves? I also binge. I eat for comfort. I like crinkle cut chips in the evening with a glass of wine. I hate winter and putting on boots and coats and scarves and fighting against the ice and snow to walk the dog. (which I do everyday). Now hubby says let's go to Mexico for a week in February and I'm like aargh...what am I going to wear? I hate the way I looks. I've put all the 50lbs back on that I worked so hard to lose. Help! please add me. Help me to become motivated not to overeat. To get back on the exercise bike (since I can't ride my regular one in the snow). Good luck to you all. Please befriend me.

    It's time to start this again. I did this 4 years ago with great success. Then life throws a few curve balls, lost my job, lost my mom, and fighting with my own health issues. Just need to stay focused and take one day at a time. Hope you guys will add me to your friend list.
